workaround for select after selector in jQuery

/*

$("#prev ~ sibling) doesnt seem to work in IE7 if the type both the prev and sibling element are of the same type. The examples on jQuery.com dont point this out.

(http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/siblings#prevsiblings)

below is a workaround.
*/


var items = selectElsAfter(yourSelector);
$(items).each(function()
{
  //do something to the selected elements in here... whatever the hell you like!
});


function selectElsAfter(el)
{
	var els = []
	element = $('#'+el);
	var index = ($('*',element.parent()).index(element));
	for(i=(index+1);i<$('*', element .parent()).length;i++)
	{
		els.push($($('*', element.parent()).get(i)));
	}
	
	return els;
}
